8 pt. Buck Found Near Stand

Early yesterday morning my husband, Bob and step-son, Greg, took off for Brown's Point on Kings Point Island before the storm hit. Greg was going to get his chairs from the deer stands and Bob was going along for the ride. When they got to the stand Bob looked over and saw a deer carcass lying on the ground. It was a very nice 8 pt. buck. Greg took a picture of it on his phone and later reported it to the camp. They surmised that it may have come over from another camp and died there. They had recently hunted the area a couple of weeks ago. Above is a picture that I took of the buck on our front walkway. Greg took it home to do an European Mount on the deer. If you are interested on the "how to" on a European Mount, watch the video below.
